'''''Longidorus''''' is a genus of needle nematodes. Some of its species are plant pests.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Longidorus breviannulatus n. sp.

They may also transmit important plant viruses{{sfn|Zuckerman|Rohde|1981|loc=[https://books.google.com/books?id=pU9Mz--9wwoC&pg=PA286 Longidorus transmitted viruses. p. 286]}} such as the potato virus U or the cacao necrosis virus.

Species are known to infest pines<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Handoo |first=Z. A. |last2=Carta |first2=L. K. |last3=Skantar |first3=A. M. |last4=Ye |first4=W. |last5=Robbins |first5=R.
